One in seven kids in Virginia live in families that struggle with hunger. Research shows that hunger has serious consequences for children, including lower test scores, weaker attendance rates, and higher risk of hospitalization and chronic diseases. No Kid Hungry Virginia and its local partners focus on Breakfast After the Bell as a critical way to end childhood hunger in Virginia. The program increases access to school breakfast by bringing breakfast out of the cafeteria and making it a part of the school day. No Kid Hungry Virginia spokespersons are available for interviews about the Virginia Breakfast Challenge. To arrange, contact Claire Mansfield at cmansfield@strength.org.
